    No Power

    Hope all are doing well and staying healthy. I have an '08 Tracker Marine Tahoe Q7i and after charging the battery (less than a year old). I went to turn on the ignition but there was no sound. Normally, there's a beep and the fuel pump cycles. I thought it might be the ignition switch so I...

    No Juice

    My '08 Tracker Marine Tahoe Q7i has been sitting for about three months of no use and last week I charged up the battery and tried to start it and the ignition switch does not make a sound. It doesn't turn on any of the accessories or crank the motor. I replaced the ignition switch and the...

    Always Help Boaters in Distress

    During the busy Labor Day weekend I took my family out on the lake and halfway into the day, we saw a boat not moving with about six young adults on it waving their arms to get the attention of other nearby boaters just whizzing by. I finally got close enough to them to find out they were...

    What Would You Do

    In one lake where I go boating, there's only one public ramp with one dock that is free. But the ramp has another lane which is for power loading and unloading. The other boat launches charges minimum of $30 so you can imagine how crowded the free launch gets. As I finish my trip for the day...

    Gouged My Hull

    As I approached a dock, there was a nail sticking out out and put a 8 inch gouge in my hull. It didn't go all the way through. Just removed the gel coat to the fiberglass. How difficult is it to repair the gel coat? Youtube "how to" videos makes it seem easy but I heard it's difficult and...

    Lubricating Leaf Springs

    I notice that my leaf springs are beginning to squeal and make cracking/popping noises whenever I go really slow over uneven surfaces like a curb or rock. Since they don't have zerk fittings, how do you lubricate them? What about the equalizers for double axle trailers, like mines.
